Wasn't there a korrikak squadron at Jewell. I think supp 9 said there used to be a batron of plankwells, but they were rotated into the strategic reserve.

Of the 8 Tigresses assigned in the batron to the SPM, one is at Candory, the other at Andor to support the naval interdiction there. so six of them are stationed at Jewell/Jewell at the outbreak.-HG/ Fighting Ships supplement. The Kokirraks were rotated back to Corridor for refit/reserves.
So the two Batrons in theater were the Plankwells, and the Tigresses.
OK, I went and dug out the LBB copy of sup 9.
First of, I screwed up the spelling, its Kokirrak, not Korrikak. Thats my error.
Secondly, yes indeed, a Kokirrak batron is at Jewel. So that gives us 3+ Batrons in the 5Fw game map area.
I say 3+ because of what Sup 9 says about the Tigress'
"Several individual Tigressess have been deployed among the worlds of the Five Sisters subsector to enforce the amber zone blockade of Candory and Andor." Supplement 9, pg38
The number of Tigressess involved is somewhat indeterminate. Presumably, at least two, as Liam states, but maybe as many as 6. Supplement 9 is silent on the notion of Tigressess at Jewel. My own thinking now is that the Tigressess were spread all over the place, as the supplement says, on various missions, thus joining up as a whole batron 2-3 months after the shooting started, at a minimum. That would work well with 5Fw games Imperial Reinforcement Turns.
I'm now thinking the same thing could be done with the Kokirrak squadron at Rhylanor. Have them off on various missions, and having to take some time rejoining as a full squadron. That would leave Jewell and Regina with a full batron each, as it shows for the at start Imperial forces.
As for the Plankwells, Richard is correct:
"For decades, the Imperial Fleet in the Spinward Marches has included at least one BatRon of Plankwell class ships, but recently (1102), the last such squadron was rotated to the strategic reserve in Corridor Sector." Supplement 9, pg40
So the Plankwells would show up in the Imperial Reinforcement turns.
Hmmm...
